Investment Q&A

Q: If you were to invest in the gene editing space, how would you rank these two?

Q: Today on CBC an investment person said he expected interest rate cuts to start earlier next year than later. But he then said the stock market historically seels off during interest rate cuts. This was a surprise to me. Is this just his opinion or is it historically fact? Additionally, once cuts start (and I do not expect to get to the past lows in a long time) what parts of the market do you believe will sell off and which will be a benefit.

Q: What percentage of a RRIF must a person who is 76 in 2023 withdraw?

Q: REEMF This is about Rare Element Resources. I'm trying to understand why a company would price a future rights offering to shareholders (as of the close of the business day on Dec. 15) so far below the current stock price. The rights offering allows shareholders to buy 1.4 shares at 12 cents for each share they hold as of record date Dec. 15. The stock price has fallen by 50% in the last 5 days, that is, from about 45 cents to 20 cents. Can you shed some light on this? Thanks.

Q: I have held CSU for several years and would like to add to my position. Given the recent rise in share price would you wait for a pull-back to add to your position?

What would you see as a reasonable entry price?

Thank you,

Q: Hello Folks:
Currently we own solid positions in CIC.TO AND MFC-PK.TO and interested in both MAERSK and USA because of dividends (Maersk 19.24% and USA 9.98%).
What is your opinion of these companies, security of their dividends, growth etc. Maersk is one of the world's premier shipping companies although one questions sustainability of such a rich dividend.
All The Best

Q: Further to my earlier question again I have a TFSA with these 5 equal weight components: CSU, ATD, TRI, SLF, and ENB. Could you kindly suggest an additional 5 or 6 Canadian equities that would be appropriate to add at this time?

Q: I currently have holdings in ATD, CSU, ENB, SLF, and TRI in my TFSA in equal value. Are any of these worth adding to and in what order?

Q: For the last 5 years LNF has done nothing. Yes it hs a dividend of 3.8%. But cheap as it is do you see it advancing much? EMA, EIF, and NWC pay higher dividends and have advanced quite a bit since bought. Would it be suggested that any of these three could replace LNF or should I hang on to LNF in the hopes that it may spring to life?

Q: Can you please supply 5 names that have the highest potential for growth in the next year. Div, non div, any sector. Just best growth. US and CDN.

Q: Hi, Energy sector has been weak for past few months, for a variety of reasons. Oil and NG prices have been drifting lower and OPEC keeps sending mixed signals. US sanctions on Russia have only produced a muted response, with their Oil finding its way to India, China and many other countries. Oil is hovering back to $70 level and still there is no sign of US ready to fill in their SPR. After a strong 2021 and 2022 (and 1st half of 2023), do you think, current weakness could be temporary and it's just a short term breather ? Or, considering the cyclic nature of the sector ( possible recession concerns ) and history, it might be time to take some profits and reduce the sector weight, from your generally suggested 10% to say 5% ? If so, would you trim equally or in any order among these holdings ? Thank You
